In the survivor's camp, water was not yet very scarce commodity.
Government's water supply was still working somehow.
It made sense as 95% of the population was dead.
Which sane person will care to take bath and waste water, when their predators are lurking right behind the doors.
Since 5 days had passed through the apocalypse. Now majority of people were facing the food scarcity.
None knew about the end of the World, so not many common people had hoarded much food.
Network was still working, but electricity had stopped in Hiesta City.
In the survivor's camp, the generators left behind by the military were being used currently.
But, that was only for important work and necessities of Alex and his girls.
At the top floor of the apartment building, Mana, Ivanna and Ivory were enjoying a pleasant bath in a lukewarm water.
The bathtub they were in was big enough for several people.
" I wonder when Alex will return... " Ivanna wondered.
Inside the bath, her smooth naked back pressed against the edge of the bathtub, while she hugged Ivory in her arms.
They both played with each other, looking charming and cute like little mermaids.
Ivanna's snow-white skin glistened with water drops, as her dark long hair slid down in the water like cascading waterfall.
" I don't think he will be back before tomorrow. Those girls' houses are quite far away. I'm worried... Sigh, " Mana sighed.
She was similarly leaning against the bathtub, while looking at Ivanna and Ivory playing with each other.
Though her thoughts seemed to have wandered somewhe else.
She stood up slowly.
" Are you leaving sister Mana? " Ivanna asked.
For someone of their Level, staying in water for too long wasn't a problem. They won't feel dizzy or anything.
" Yeah. Come with me. I want to talk, " Mana said as she got out of the bathtub and picked up a towel from sides.
" Ah. Okay... Ivory come find me after you're done playing, " Ivanna normally followed Mana, as in school as well Mana had been her senior.
Besides, if not for Mana she might have never been so close to Alex.
She was truly grateful to Mana and looked upto her.
" Okay~ " Ivory nodded cutely and started playing with yellow duck in the bathtub.
Ivanna followed Mana, since Mana hadn't worn any clothes she didn't waste time doing so.
" What are you waiting for? " Mana asked seeing unmoving Ivanna whose face had slightly red glow.
" N-Nothing... " Ivanna shyly came near Mana.
" Are you now feeling shy? Haha. You were pretty wild when Alex was bullying me though. I haven't yet taken revenge for that, " Mana teased Ivanna making her even more embarassed.
" T-That was because Alex ordered me to... I really respect you sister Mana... " Ivanna shyly replied.
" Whatever, come here, " Mana mischievously smiled and sat down on the bed.
Ivanna still shy followed, there was no need to hide her naked body. What part of each other had they not seen.
But, suddenly Mana hugged Ivanna and directly pressed her down on the bed.
" W-What... " Ivanna was surprised, but seeing Mana's mischievous gaze she understood.
Mana didn't reply, and just kissed Ivanna.
Their soft bodies enveloped each other, as for few next minutes they rolled on the bed, touching each other intimately.
" Alex~ " Both of them cummed, imagining their lover touching them.
They lied in each other's embrace with peaceful expression.
Mana panted, as she saw Ivanna touching her pussy and then drinking her sweet nectar.
Even Mana felt embarassed at such a scene.
But, she had something more important to talk....
" Ivanna... "
" Yes? "
" Actually, I wanted to discuss something with you, " Mana said.
" Oh.. What's it about? " Ivanna curiously asked, as she snuggled against Mana like she usually did with Alex.
She sighed.
Alex really was different, him just touching her pussy will make her cum. While, just his breath will give her ultimate sense of security.
" I was just wondering, if you have any thoughts about Alex... I mean he has so many women around him, don't you feel jealous? " Mana asked.
Ivanna sat up, as if she found some very important matter, " I do! I really don't like it when Alex sleeps with other women... I mean, it's okay if it is sister Mana or others from Unison High... But, I feel jealous about others. "
She looked like a bullied wife, who was very unsatisfied with her husband's philandering.
Mana nodded seriously, " You're right. Alex is just Level 0, while we're already so strong. Shouldn't he respect us? "
" S-Should he? I mean... He loves us... So, it is okay I guess? " Ivanna wondered, finding Mana's words somehow unsatisfactory.
Alex was their Master....
" You are an idiot. Don't you understand? In this situation, we are not the ones who should please Alex, he should. After all he is more of a burden, with only that ability to carry stuff. Now that we're this strong, will we ever lack resources? " Mana continued.
Ivanna who heard this felt her heart going cold, as she looked at Mana.
She didn't like how Mana called Alex useless and burden.
And about him pleasing her? That sounds good. But, just being by his side was enough for her.
Mana didn't look at Ivanna's dissatisfied face, as she continued, " Hey, what do you think about having Alex all for ourselves? "
Ivanna's eyes narrowed as her dissatisfaction reached a new level. She could guess what Mana was saying.
" Do you want to kill everyone else? " She asked flatly.
The emotionless tone of hers slightly surprised Mana, she didn't say anything. But, that was more of an answer.
" I see... If you mention this ever again, before Alex could take any decision. I Myself will kill you, " Ivanna's tone held raw killing intent.
Her eyes looked bloodshot, ferocious and mad, as if the gentle and soft girl from before was gone.
" Why? " Mana asked.
" Because... Alex doesn't want that, " Ivanna replied.
" But, don't you want that deep down? "
" It doesn't matter. Only what he wants matters. Everything else is meaningless, " Ivanna's voice was almost robotic as she said the last line.
Mana stared at Ivanna for a moment and sighed.
" Calm down now. I just wanted to test something... " Mana said.
" Test? "
" Yeah. You're just like me, we have been brainwashed by Alex, " Mana smiled sweetly.
Ivanna's eyes narrowed even more dangerously.
" It's not like I'm against it. Can you stop looking at me like that. You look like a demon. You should also know, what I'm saying is right, " Mana pointed at Ivanna.
Ivanna went silent.
It was a cue for Mana to explain.
" Well... Didn't you notice? Everytime Alex rapes a women. Rather than hating him, they would just fall in love with him. Just look at Aunt Rowena, how much she hated Alex before. She even knows something that we don't. It's about Players, " Mana explained.
Ivanna nodded. She had found this weird. But, didn't think much, because Alex didn't explain about it.
" We're the same, Alex must have some ability regarding brainwashing. That's why even though we see this all, we don't find it wrong. Rather, we find everything Alex does correct. For us, everything except him is meaningless. Even if we know this, it doesn't matter. Aren't you the same? " Mana ended her words with a smile.
Ivanna looked at Mana for any chance of lies.
She nodded, " You may be right. But, even if that's true, I love Alex. Even if he just thinks of me as a tool. It doesn't matter. "
Mana smiled, she expected Ivanna to have some clues.
Everyone of Alex's women had found inconsistencies with their own behavior.
They just ignored it.
Deep inside Mana, she felt a hint of fear... overshadowed by her love and awe for Alex.
She knew, this was exactly what was most terrifying about his ability.
That's why, whatever happens... Following such a terrifying person guarantees her safety...
May be this thinking is also related to Alex's skill. But...
Alex is the law, she decided.
* * * *
Alex sneezed, " Who the fuck is snitching behind my back... "
His group of 5 was surrounded by few men holding some sharp unhealthy weapons.
One of them even had a gun.
Guns were very rare in Albigion, as there was strict control upon it by Government.
But, Alex's group wasn't worried.
For the whole day, Alex and his group had travelled across the Hiesta city.
They had already visited Julie and Perrie's houses, but didn't find their parents.
If they had turned to zombies, they must have left that surrounding by now.
Hiesta city was a small city, but still it was densely packed with population, it took them whole day for finding way towards his girls' homes.
Now they were going towards Jovie's home, through a less densely populated area.
But, here they were stopped by some group of ruffians.
" These girls sure are beautiful. Tonight will be a lot more enteratining, " The ruffinas laughed, thinking they had scored easy prey.
They were not weak, each of them around level 8-9.
But...
Their heads fell, as Madison single handedly slaughtered them all.
Alex kept one ruffian alive for interrogation.
It seemed this ruffian was from the same gang as the one to which Ron's father belonged.
" It seems we were passing by their area. Fortunately we also needed a place to stay for tonight. Let's politely visit them, " Alex said.
Evening was almost upon them, as sun was about to set in 1-2 hours.
Girls nodded, as they followed the address given by the now dead man.
It was a very big mansion, with 5-6 metres tall walls surrounding it from all sides.
After half an hour...
All of the members of the gang were lying on the ground, with their limbs broken.
" Good job Madison, " Alex praised, very satisfied with Madison's performance.
This gang wasn't weak.
The leader was a Level 15 man!
Many of his subordinates were also beyond Level 10.
Madison smiled sweetly, as she came near Alex like a cat hoping for its Master's caresses.
" Throw them into the cages, " Alex ordered his girls.
These gang members were heartless and cruel.
In last 5 days, they had taken complete control over the surrounding area.
Pillaging and Plundering was their hobby.
All the people in the surrounding were brought to this Mansion.
Men and ugly women were thrown into the cages, to be infected and to be used to level up.
As for the beautiful women, they were used as toys for these men to satisfy their lust.
Alex knew that if he hadn't passed by here, these people would surely group upto be one of the strongest force around.
In the Apocalypse, what mattered was to use every resource in the best way possible for one's own survival.
These men had 100 times more chances for survival than some ethical bastard spouting bullshit about humanity.
As these men were being thrown into the cages to have the taste of their own meal, they cried and begged for mercy.
" No! Noooo! I'm sorry! "
" I was forced! "
" I never killed anyone! "
" Help! "
" I'll be your slave! Please don't kill me! "
The sound of shrieks died down as they turned into zombies.
Alex had a new discovery, as amongst 12 gang members who were above Level 10, 9 of them turned into Stage 2 zombies!
With their limbs cut off, they were like lambs to be slaughtered!
" Madison kill them all, " Alex let Madison kill all Stage 2 zombies, bringing her to the peak of Level 18!
" Thank you Alex~ " Madison was very happy for Alex's consideration.
Alex didn't mind his girls becoming stronger, as he knew that they couldn't betray him.
Other girls as well levelled up, by easy killing of Stage 1 zombies.
" We will stay here for the night, " Alex decided.
No one had any problems. As they returned to the lavish mansion.
All enslaved women were brought to the glamorous living room.
Girls as looked at these women, felt their hearts stirring.
In times like these, women were the ones to suffer the most.
They had insufficient strength to protect themselves, but great allure to dogs like those gangsters.
Many of these women were physically abused.
Their eyes filled with fear and distress.
As females themselves Madison and other sympathized with these women.
Alex looked at them with sympathetic look, " You have all suffered. But, those bad people have been killed by us now. If you want to leave now, you can or follow us back to the nearest survivors' camp. "
" Are you... Are you an Angel? " Alex didn't know who started saying that but soon everyone started looking at him as if he was a diety.
His silver hair, pale face, heterochromatic yet engrossing eyes alongside the natural aura of superiority Alex excluded made him look frighteningly charming to these women, who had suffered fate worse than death.
Alex was satisfied with their reaction, but he shook his head, " No, I'm not an angel. My name is Alex. I'm the leader of the survivors' camp... "
Alex's gentle words won the heart of all these women, as they still looked at Alex like their Lord Saviour.
Everyday they would wake up and wait for those men to abuse them, hoping for some salvation. But, none came.
Many of them had prayed to the God, hoping for a miracle to save them.
Now, they thought that their prayers had come true in the incarnation of Alex.
Their families were already gone, so they without hesitation decided to follow Alex.
Amongst them, a mature women with fanatic look in her eyes took the lead to show Alex around.
Her name was Jill. She was the wife of the owner of this mansion, who was killed by those gang members.
She devoutly believed that the God had sent Alex to her, and it was her duty to become his follower and slave.
After showing Alex around the mansion, she brought him to a bedroom.
" T-This used to be my son's bedroom... No one has used it after he died and I told someone to clean it for you. My Lord, you can stay here with your ladies, " Jill bowed respectfully to Alex.
There was a hint of sadness in her eyes, as she looked at the bedroom.
Alex went near Jill and gently touched her face.
Jill was surprised, yet very happy to be touched by Alex.
" Go and Stabilize those women. Also, once you're done. Clean yourself and come here at night, " Alex gently said.
" Y-Yes My Lord, " Jill happily nodded, with fanatic gleam in her eyes.
She went away hastily to complete her objective and return to her Lord's embrace.
Seeing her leaving, Alex entered the bedroom.
The room was not bad, it seemed to have just been cleaned by someone.
It must be one of those women down there.
Jill seemed to have quite a bit of say over these women.
After the day of travelling, Alex was exhausted.
So, to regain some strength he had sex with his girls who served him obediently.
At some point, while Alex and others were resting, Madison asked, " Alex, don't you feel disgusted with Jill? "
" You mean because of what happened to her? "
" Mhmm, " Madison nodded to Alex.
" I don't hate Jill for her past. I only value someone based on their usefulness. I'll accept Jill because she is useful. If she is useless, she won't survive by my side anyway. "
" In the end she is just like a toy. I only care about whether the toy is fun or not. But, now that she is my toy. I'll never let someone else touch her, she can only be broken in my hands, " Alex patted Madison's head.
" So... Am I also a toy for you? " Madison asked with slight nervousness.
Alex pinched Madison's nipple, making her moan slightly, " You're more beautiful, more fun and more useful toy... If there comes a day that you break. I'll feel sad. "
Madison felt confused at Alex's words, " So, I'm just a toy? "
" No. You're my girlfriend as well, " Alex smiled at her and kissed her lovingly.
With the kiss Madison felt all of her insecurities melting away.
Even if she was a toy, she had to become Alex's favorite toy.
After some time, Jill returned.
She was now wearing a very sexy lingerie and looked very beautiful, with her voluptuous body and slight make-up.
Alex brainwashed her, turning her into an useful pawn.
Next morning, Alex and others woke up early.
Alex checked the map alongside Madison, Jill and others.
They were right now quite far away from their camp.
To be clear, if Hiesta city was divided into Inner, middle and outer region then Alex's group right now was in middle region.
While the camp was in outer region.
Alex didn't want to go in inner region, as he had a hunch that there was something there that he couldn't fight with his current power.
' A Stage 3 zombie... ' Alex thought.
Like everyday Alex checked the news and found out a rather important information.
It was about the Celestial Empire.
A group named ' Seven Shades ' led by the Seventh Prince of the Celestial Empire had appeared.
His name was Zhao Muchen!
The group only contained seven females. Each of these females were talented and came from strong backgrounds. They were also very beautiful, like celestial jade beauties!
But what caught Alex's eyes was the next information.
Each of these females were Level 19+.
The whole world was shaken by the news as this was the first reported incidence where someone had surpassed the Level Cap of Level 19!
Their claims only became stronger, as these seven females could single-handedly fight Stage 3 zombies.
Their strengths above any human imagination!
' What a lucky bastard. To be transmigrated as a fucking Prince, ' Alex almost roared.
This fucker without a doubt was Player, Alex thought.
He remembered, The Stage 2 Promotion Token in the Shop.
He checked it, but there were still '???' Question marks in front of it.
It was imperative for Alex to get stronger as well, otherwise other Players will surely surpass him.
Only thing going for him now was the Irregular he had captured, and this Stage 2 Promotion Token.
After chatting with his women for a while the plan was made.
Jill and other women will stay here in the mansion, till Alex and others return after checking Jovie's home.
They directly left after that. Since time was precious.
They soon came to Jovie's house.
Unfortunately, Jovie's parents were also dead.
" I'm sorry Jovie, " Alex patted Jovie.
But, she didn't seem that sad.
" It's okay. I expected it. Besides, you won't have let my father and brother follow us anyway, " Jovie smiled helplessly.
" That's true, " Alex didn't deny. Alex won't keep anyone who couldn't be used around him.
Besides these girls were just his toys to play with. He might consider their emotions as some fun, but he won't dwell on them.
Everyone returned to the Jill's mansion, where all women were ready to leave.
With previously decided path Alex and everyone left the middle area of the Hiesta city.
The pressure Alex felt also decreased as the Survivors' camp appeared.
But, he didn't know that someone had already had their eyes on his survivors' camp.
